ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Before San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, a loud chant of "USA, USA" rang out at New Era Field.

...

As Kaepernick, who made his first start since week 8 of last season, led the offense on to the field, he was greeted by a loud chorus of boos from Bills fans. Those boos continued for the first couple of snaps before dissipating into cheers of encouragement for Buffalo's defense.

...

Kaepernick's first drive as the starter ended in a punt. He ran for 5 yards on the second snap and completed his first pass attempt on the third, a short shovel pass to receiver Quinton Patton for a gain of 17 yards. Two plays later, his deep pass to an open Torrey Smith was overthrown and fell incomplete.

“As Kaepernick, who made his first start since week 8 of last season...”

We are in a completely new season today?

Off topic, but I have lost track of stadium names.

So the former Rich Stadium, which then became Ralph Wilson Stadium, is now New Era Stadium???

Hard to keep up with knowing which corporate sponsor is currently sponsoring which stadium.

He wasn’t the starting QB in all the other games this year.

I’m finding it really tough to support my 49ers when they tolerate and even encourage a player who I truly despise. It’s going to be a long season.

It’s a pity this bum is abusing a captive audience of season ticket holders like this. I truly hope he breaks his neck.

I'd rather see him riding the bench -- I believe that he's got an injury clause in his contract that would make a broken neck very expensive for the team.

Don’t watch it. Don’t care. Hope the entire edifice falls to ruin.

Kaepernick had a contract that made it much to the ‘49ers advantage to bench Kaepernick and release him after the season. His contract has been renegotiated to get him a chance to play.

Not to mention the QB who replaced him has been terrible.

The news media in Buffalo asked the fans to be considerate. I asked my son and his friends, when they left for the game, if they were going to be considerate and they said, “hell no.”

While I would NEVER EVER watch a game with this ungrateful Anti-American Colin Ahole Jerk in it, the guy who was given a $120,000,000.00 contract to play a child’s game only half-well,

I APPLAUD the people at this game who expressed their outrage at Colin. GOOD FOR THEM!!!!!!

GOOD JOB, PEOPLE!

I will never give the NFL one red cent until the NFL management stops this Colin jerk from insulting us at the start of every game he’s in. The contracts all have “shall not take any actions or make any statements that tend to cause revenue losses to the league”
clauses

Kaepernick knelt during the anthem for the first time as a starting quarterback before a regular season game and was again joined by safety Eric Reid and linebacker Eli Harold in protest of racial inequality and oppression in the United States.

The trio of the ungrateful. Watch them as they pour crap on the flag and country while picking up their fat cheques.

I hope people are not boycotting the NFL, especially the 49ers.

Just an “earhole” shot from a rampaging LB will take care of Kaperpuke.
